Just settled waaaaaay back far away fron the Mane Stage to watch Sugarland kick off an already energetic, hit-filled set after just 20 minutes. But wow, are there a lot of people here. Or is it just that it seems so because everywhere you look on this massive polo field there are throngs of tail-gaters partying it up amid bunches and bunches of lawn chairs?

The general estimate on attendance is between 50,000 and 60,000 but even if it were 65,000 -- which would still be 10K less than Coachella -- it nonetheless seems like more people. Imagine everyone on hand for Jay-Z or Phoenix last weekend all sitting down and spreading out at once. They'd stretch out to the parking lot and the camp sites.
